Take a peek at the sky tonight and you’ll see a full moon.  A full moon is when the moon and the sun are opposite of each other from an earth perspective.

The waning gibbous moon passes just north of Uranus in the constellation Pisces. The moon will occult Uranus as seen from eastern Canada, Greenland, and northern Siberia.

The waning last quarter moon will pass just north of the bright star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus.

The planet Mercury will pass close to the bright star Spica in Virgo. This is a particularly good apparition of Mercury for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, less so for northerners.

The moon passes just north of the Saturn in the constellation Libra.

The moon passes just south of the asteroid Vesta in the constellation Libra.
